Jerry Ball in the middle. Of course, Sledge screams GRIT!
Edit: Forgot me some Dick “Night Train” Lane… that dude from everything I’ve ever read was just freaking scary, and the single reason for a lot of rule changes.

Bubba Baker. Him and Hutch would be a nightmare.

Can’t believe I haven’t seen this name yet. Bennie Blades, maybe because we have his clone playing for us now. (Branch)

Matt Stafford, easily. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jared, but Matt is the definition of grit at the QB position. Jared might have him beat with emotional grit, though.
DeAndre Levy immediately comes to mind.

If I could pick 5 in their prime for what we need right now
- Jason Hanson
- Cliff Avril
- Darius Slay
- Dre Bly
- Ndamukong Suh
I just think he would fit the show up do your job aspect of the team
How about Freddie Scott? He had ballz of steel in the crossing route.

Thank you! I was re-watching the 1991 NFC CG and I remembered him. He was tough and a great lineman. Unsung for the most part but a key part of those early Fontes teams.
Damn did nobody mention Robert Porcher
